Hi Jimi,
I use a regex pattern in the find & replace option of my text editor to
clear transactions. This allows me to either clear all transactions
("replace all") in bulk or manually review each one before clicking
"replace".
## Uncleared Header
`^(\d{4,}/\d{2,}/\d{2,}) ([^*].*)$`
## Set to cleared
`$1 * $2`
